Estate Sale find, Benjamin 262

[althawk]

Had a little spare cash on me, decided to hit up an estate sale this weekend, sure glad I did.
Had no idea what to expect, all the ad said was 2x pellet guns.

My first impression was: Oh man did I just wake up early for a vintage crosman 357,:(,  wait, whats in this box here?! *open* whoa! a benji, no way... *grab* ... shoot, how much do they want for it, 40? How much do they want for the crosman?, 40 as well...hmm, yeah I think I'm getting the 262. Also picked up a used 250x tin of .22 benjamin pellets w/ maybe 20-50 pellets missing for a buck.

Took a couple pictures of it in the condition I bought it, and then cleaned it up a bit. Noticed some rust... technically not a big deal since the important parts appear to be brass.

Here are the before pics:

After cleaning & the rust spots:

Gonna have to find a supply of 8g CO2... Already hit up Lowes, Walmart, Home Depot in their plumbing sections didn't see any  ... Might try a restaurant/bar supply next (seltzer cartridges should still be 8g), but if that is a bust I guess I could just order some online.
Seems to cock in 1st (low) and 2nd(hi-power) positions, and trigger seems ok when I dry fire it.

I had one that I sold a few months back that had white grips. You can find the seltzer 8 gram carts online. If you have a resturaunt supplier nearby, that would be even better. They are a bit of a gas hog, but they shoot well.

Nice Find!
